Terms for female masturbation

You have to love those Swedes — in breaking news they have now given us ladies something other than a furniture store to fight with our partners in: a word for female masturbation. Blokes however, feel free to take notes. The last time we combined glitter with our downstairs area the world ended up with vajazzling and I think we can all agree that was a terrible mistake. Although finding out a bloke was more attracted to your vagina if it was wearing jewellery was a handy way to separate the marriage material from the chaff. Did I miss the memo?

Klittra: Sweden’s new word for female masturbation

21 Creative Euphemisms For Female Masturbation | HuffPost

Have you hitchhiked south lately? How about auditioned the finger puppets? Tried rubbin' the nubbin'? I genuinely would not have realized these were meant to be terms for female masturbation , but apparently they are to someone. Terrifying, right? The truth is there aren't that many great English terms for female self-love.

There's a new word for female masturbation. And we couldn't think of anything more fitting...

S weden, you must stop! And now a word for female masturbation: klittra. The Swedish Association for Sexuality Education RFSU held a competition late last year that asked people to nominate words that women could use instead of having to — ahem — press into service the traditionally male-associated words and phrases that abound. We can all applaud the intention behind the competition and the choice. Historical taboos around female sexuality, and particularly around the art of female self-pleasuring, have left a linguistic void that — ahem again — needs filling.

Not always as fun. While there are many fun and common euphemisms for male masturbation, women are often left empty-handed so to speak. Maybe if we gave women more names for dialing their rotary phones, we'd be more inclined to talk about female masturbation in general.
